UniProt functional annotation for Q0PB48

UniProt code: Q0PB48.

Organism: Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni serotype O:2 (strain ATCC 700819 / NCTC 11168).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Epsilonproteobacteria; Campylobacterales; Campylobacteraceae; Campylobacter.
 
Function: Has been suggested to be involved in cytochrome c peroxidase or P450-like oxygen chemistry or cyanide detoxification. The high oxygen affinity of this protein suggests that it probably does not function as an oxygen transporter.
 
Cofactor: Name=heme; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:30413; Note=Binds 1 heme group per subunit; upon expression in E.coli it purifies predominantly in the Fe(2+)-oxy form, binding O(2) tightly even under anaerobic conditions.;
Subunit: Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16681372, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17023416}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305|PubMed:16339953}.
Induction: Constitutively expressed, it is further induced by S- nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16339953}.
Disruption phenotype: Cells lacking this gene grow less well than wild- type under conditions of high aeration. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16339953}.
Similarity: Belongs to the truncated hemoglobin family. Group III subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
